How to choose the best Smart-1

[NaoHamada]

We're currently proposing an endpoint to the customer. The customer has 9,000 clients. Link in the blow says, if the customer environment has less than 10,000 security endpoint clients, recommended to use “Smart-1 625”.

Smart-1 625 successor model is Smart-1 600-M, yet seeing the product catalog’s license instructions it says :

・Smart-1 600M
　Smart-1 600-M Base can manage 2500 Endpoints
　Smart-1 600-M Plus can manage 5000 Endpoints

・Smart-1 600S
　Smart-1 600-S Base can manage 500 Endpoints
　Smart-1 600-S Plus can manage 1000 Endpoints

Those are insufficient for 10,000 endpoint clients, so which Smart-1 should I choose to manage 9,000 endpoints?

Perhaps an Open Server on HCL with better specks than 625?

The rough estimate is for each gateway the Smart-1 can manage, it’ll support 100 Endpoint clients.
That means a 6000-L Plus or the equivalent Open Server.
